Daybreak Ceremonies performs many more weddings than other ceremonies, and this wedding season has been quite busy. Today I’d like to talk about a recent Funeral Ceremony I prepared and officiated. The family is scattered along the East coast. The 90 year old twin brother of the gentleman whose wife passed away was not able […]
Just got back from a really special wedding in Aiken, SC. There were several things about this wedding that were unique. The first is that the couple found me on Engayged Weddings. A gay/same sex friendly site. The bride let me know right off the bat that she and her fiancé were having a traditional […]
Every ceremony is wonderful. The brides are beautiful and brimming with hope, promise and thoughts for a wonderful life together. The grooms are excited, usually dressed to the nines and the audience shares the joy and the love in palpable ways. Today’s ceremony was conducted at the correctional facility in Manson, NC. The table that […]
Mike and Cheryl Stein contacted me the day before Valentine’s Day and asked if I could marry them the next day at their house in Vass. I was available. I was delighted to be asked. And I kicked things into high gear. Both Mike and Cheryl have, or are currently serving in our country’s military. […]

The phone rang this morning and tomorrow at about 2:00, weather permitting, I’ll be conducting a marriage ceremony for Cheryl and Mike at their home in Woodlake. I may even pick up the items necessary for a Sand Ceremony if Mike and Cheryl […]

I would have posted earlier this week, but I was waiting for some photos that I have not received yet. When I get them I’ll send them out. Last Sunday I performed my first New York City wedding. It was a really nice affair in the garden of an old and very beautiful Brownstone Apartment […]
I was baptized as an infant. My parents appointed godparents. I honestly do not know who my godparents were, or if they are still alive. They had no role in my upbringing. Both of my boys (now 24 and 28 years old), were baptized and have godparents, who have had no role in my kids […]
Many apologies for ignoring this blog. If you ignore it, there is no damage done, if I ignore it, it never has a chance to get off the ground so, we will be faithful to you who said, “Let’s hear what you have to say.” Today we’ll touch on one of the nicest Unity Ceremonies, […]
I envision the Daybreak Hitching Post to be a journey through the wedding ceremonies I officiate, as well as, notes, thoughts and observations I have about things both spiritual or not that are wedding related. Going back to last July, the first ceremony I officiated was a same sex ceremony between Lydia and Mercedes. I […]
